The Gallery's Perspective
There’s an immediate sense of motion the moment you look: a bald eagle sweeps down with wings fully opened, talons ready to meet the world below. The sculpture’s layered feathers — dark near the body with warm, sunlit brown toward the wing tips — give the bird a lived, powerful presence, while the slightly opened beak and forward-leaning posture suggest purpose rather than idle display. The twisting branch beneath the eagle anchors the composition and provides a natural counterpoint to the bird’s expansive wings, making the whole arrangement feel like an instant frozen mid-flight. Its scale and three-dimensional detail reward a close look: each feather and textured surface reads as deliberate and tactile, adding weight and character. There’s a clear storytelling quality here — a messenger arriving with urgency and responsibility — and the work carries that mood into a room with both quiet dignity and dramatic energy.

About The Creators Messenger
The Creator's Messenger
Long ago when the earth was new and in harmony, the Ojibwa who called themselves Anishinabeg, disrespected their surroundings. This angered The Creator, who sent a warning that the people would be destroyed. The bald eagle was a close friend of the Anishinabeg. When he heard the news, he volunteered to fly to The Creators world.

Kitty Cantrell. Award-winning artist and environmentalist Kitty Cantrell is known for her striking sculptures of North American wildlife. Intricately designed and detailed, her Mixed Media sculptures capture expressions of animals that have never known human touch. Wolves, eagles and humpback whales are a few of the subjects this native Californian has chosen to sculpt since beginning her professional career.
Kitty is one of the few American artists today who has a natural talent for capturing the animals she chooses to sculpt as only nature knows them. Cantrell begins the sculpting process with only a general idea of what she is about to create. To ensure the authenticity and accuracy of her sculptures, Kitty spends numerous hours researching the animals paying close attention to subtle details such as the wing span or shape of a tail.
Kitty produces a rough sculpture out of soft clay to check for composition and form. She then painstakingly forms a master sculpture that is to scale and anatomically correct. This second sculpture is sent to the Legends/Genesis foundry in Los Angeles, California, where a resin cast is made and the manufacturing process begins.
Demonstrating her commitment to animals and wildlife, Kitty donates a portion of the proceeds from her art to the Nature Conservancy, the World Wildlife Fund and the Grounded Eagle Foundation.
